"Anemosens" is my entry for the #MoveIt3DPShow #moveit3dpcontest contest from @elegoo and @snapmakerinc

Anemosens is a 3d printable anemometer. I use it as a windsensor for #WinDIY_2 a 3D printable wind turbine. Of course, it can also be used for other purposes (e.g. weather station).

Anemosens - A 3D printed wind sensor / anemometer

YouTube Video VVViempwN2RDMlRmWkY4alhrUGpFZ0hBLnczUlU1YzlaZjNR

I hope you can see how the alignment of the wind direction sensor is passed on to the sensor of #Anemosens (a 3D printed #Anemometer). 🙂⁣
The wind vane is connected to a bracket using an M3x50 screw. A magnet with a diametrical magnetization sits in this holder. This means that the north and south poles are not on the top and bottom of the magnet, as is the case with most magnets, but on the opposite side of the shell of the magnet/cylinder. The sensor can then measure the orientation of the north and south poles. 😎 I printed all parts with my SLA printer so that only a few additional mechanical components are required. 😌⁣

In the meantime I have also updated the scrolling text function in the #pxlBlck plugin. 😎 Thanks to the 24 segments of the #pxlDigit, numbers and characters can also be shown as scrolling text on the display. The font- and background color, brightness, speed and of course the text can be set individually. The scrolling text can then also be triggered by #MQTT, for example. 🙂

If you should have asked yourself by chance why there is nothing new about the slip ring here, I am happy to introduce you to the fail of the week. 🙂 ⁣
Unfortunately I used a 6mm thick brass tube for the axis of the slip ring. Not really a problem. ⁣
But unfortunately, I also used a ball bearing with an inner diameter of 6mm. Unfortunately, the brass tube does not fit into the ball bearing now. 😩 That's why I've been sitting here for a few days and dragging the brass tube from time to time until it is hopefully thin enough to fit into the ball bearing. 🤓⁣
I think that was the friendly reminder that you shouldn't skip the sluggish lessons at school about shaft fits. 😬⁣

Fail at designing a 3D printed slip ring for WinDIY_2

Unfortunately, the 276mm wide housing for four #pxlDigit_24 cannot be easily printed on a normal 3D printer. That's why I designed an alternative housing. The individual digits can be pre-assembled and then screwed onto a bracket. In this way, even more than four digits can be daisy chained one after the other, for example to display five-digit numbers or longer words directly. You can see the start animation on the video. After the start, the time is retrieved from an #NTP server via the WiFi connection of the #ESP32
